Sam Baldock has been ruled out until Christmas with a hamstring injury.
The 22-year-old striker sustained the injury during last weekend's 3-1 defeat of Derby County at the Boleyn and was told earlier today that he'll miss a minimum of three weeks, possibly more.
West Ham's number seven arrived at the club at the end of August and opened his account with a brace against Blackpool, in his second start after moving from League One outfit MK Dons.
He repeated the feat in his fourth start when scoring two of West Ham's three goals against Leicester City at the end of October, before scoring his most recent goal in the 2-0 win at Hull (on 5th November).
Prior to scoring his five goals for West Ham this season, Baldock had hit six for his former club - including a hat-trick against Chesterfield in front of a watching Sam Allardyce - giving him a season tally of 11 goals from 17 appearances (three as a substitute).
Also out of contention this evening is John Carew, leaving Sam Allardyce with just Carlton Cole and Freddie Piquionne as fit, first team strikers.
